Does King Charles III have horses running at Royal Ascot today?

Charlie may not quite share the same passion for horses as his late mother, but there will still be some Royal runners at Royal Ascot 2025.

The 2023 meeting was emotional because it was the first since Queen Elizabeth II’s passing the previous September, but the UK Royal Family were able to celebrate a winner as Desert Hero rallied late on to scoop the King George V Stakes.

The late British monarch presided over a massive racing operation and celebrated 24 Royal Ascot winners as an owner, including 2013 Gold Cup scorer Estimate.

After her death, the reins were handed over to King Charles III and the ownership is now under the title of HM The King & HM The Queen as queen consort, Camilla, has an interest in nags.

The King and Queen did not have a Flat runner in the fortnight leading up to Royal Ascot, but they are set to field some of their stable stars at the five-day festival.

Royal Ascot odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise, details of King Charles III’s runners at this year’s meeting are below.

Friday, 20th June

Purple Rainbow – Sandringham Stakes (17:00)

Timeform: Built on a promising debut second when going one better at Kempton (1m) in January. Progressed again when fourth under a penalty over 1m here (round course) in April. Should have more to offer in handicaps with a good claimer taking 5 lb off.
